How I Use It

I use this app as an extended learning activity or center. Students LOVE to use the app. It offers an engaging way to learn what new vocabulary words mean. The app does not have a ton of words but they do add words periodically. The students love that the letters make sounds when they drag them to the correct place. I like that the letters make the sound because it helps some students with their letter sound knowledge even though that is not necessarily the intended purpose.

My Take

I love this app as something educational that students can work on to expand their vocabulary. I think that if there were more words it would be more beneficial. I also would like for students to have to spell the word in order instead of just being able to put the letter where it belongs and not necessarily in order from the beginning to the end of the word. Overall this app is highly engaging and my students beg to "play" it!
